TEACHING SPATIAL GEOMETRY USING MANIPULABLE MATERIAL IN LIGHT OF THE BNCC

Abstract

This article investigates the effectiveness of using manipulative materials in teaching Spatial Geometry, focusing on the skills and abilities proposed by the National Common Core Curriculum for High School. The research arises in response to the low performance of students in large-scale assessments and the lack of studies on the subject, proposing an approach that goes beyond traditional expository classes. Using a qualitative methodology, this participatory research proposes and executes a didactic sequence with students from a public school in Ananindeua-Pará, seeking to analyze the relationship between the use of manipulative materials and the development of geometric skills. The results indicate that this pedagogical approach not only facilitates the understanding of geometric concepts, but also promotes more active and meaningful learning, contributing to the formation of critical citizens who are prepared to face the challenges of the contemporary world.
